Renewable share of generation, 2023

EPA eGRID net generation

Renewable plants produced 21.2% of U.S. electricity: solar 3.9%, wind 10.0%, hydro 5.7%.

Generation data (eGRID) is for an earlier year than capacity (EIA-860M), so states that added solar or wind since then produce more renewable power now than the share shows.
